Paramount Middle Eastern Kitchen in Markham

We go to the Restaurant almost every other week. Manali and Aastha are always so friendly and go out of their way to accommodate. The food is always cooked well and delicious. Had kafta platter and shawarma. Have had their lamb chops too. Very tender

Came in for lunch with my beautiful daughter and was greeted by Manal and her associate who were very polite and friendly. The experience was absolutely wonderful from start to finish! Manal and the staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive, making sure we were comfortable right away. They even brought out a special toddler-friendly menu, which had a variety of healthy and tasty options. My daughter loved her lunch and had fun with dad. The ambiance was perfect for families. They provided crayons and a princess outline to colour that kept my little one entertained while we waited for our food. The high chairs were clean and conveniently placed, making it easy to feed my daughter. As for my meal, the adult menu was equally impressive. I enjoyed a fresh and flavorful grilled beef saj and fries the portions were generous. The food arrived promptly and was beautifully presented. One standout feature was the clean and tidy dining area. Overall, Paramount is a fantastic spot for parents looking for a relaxed and enjoyable lunch outing with their toddlers. I highly recommend it! --- Hope this helps! Enjoy your lunch outing with your daughter.

Kid-friendliness: They have a kids menu. Food

Initially had an issue with a pickup order but the restaurant was quick to rectify and make right, was really happy with the great service. Will certainly return.

Low quality food yet very expensive. Do not waste your money.

I went to Paramount for a shawarma wrap and was very disappointed. The wrap had no taste, no flavor, and no vegetables. It was a waste of money. Disgusting.

Had a great meal today. Apparently the host was only on his second day, yet his service was perfect. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

We happened to stop here looking for Farish dressing. Honestly we were expecting a run of the mill shawarma restaurant, and were incredibly, and pleasantly, surprised. My wife and I have a lot of dietary restrictions but the staff was patient and helped us find an alternative that was cost affective and delicious without any sacrifice on flavor. The food was so rich, and plentiful. The staff were kind, professional, and helpful. They had a serve yourself Turkish coffee craft which was a beautiful palate cleanser. They came over and offered fresh bread which was warm and soft. Honestly, it was great. I would, and probably will, eat here again. Dietary restrictions: Wife is diabetic and I dont eat carbs, was not a problem here at all. Kid-friendliness: Not sure if it is because there used to be a McDonalds here but they had a playplace for kids that was sectioned off.

HIGHLY NOT RECOMMEND - NO CUSTOMER SERVICE STANDARDS. 3 years ago 45 minutes wait for an order, short staffed. Food quality, taste, and portion decreased from before. Food is not worth the price. July 27, 2024 Trued after 3 years, I thought things would have gotten better, but.... Googled paramount mistakenly ordered Krispy chicken from here supposed to be other location but no one verified or co firmed. Drove to other locations, then came to this location. Chicken was sitting outside in a bag, and when I touched the bag, it was all watery. I requat for a fresh one, knowingly I was refused to serve fresh one but to take soggy one. I walked out, and no one even tried to retain a customer. Im not sure who owns this place, but for sure, someone who dont care to provide quality service or food

Always a delight ....paramount food is top notch quality

Great customer service by kalthoum the lady with hijab she s very professional and kind. Thank you

We got food catered for our workplace for more than 80 people . Their take out delivery service and the food was par excellent . They were super nice accommodating to our food choice and options . Highly recommend them to everyone - thank you Kolthum and her crew

Great place, friendly staff. Food is good.

Manal Oh So Exceptional We stopped in at Paramount Markham 1:30 p.m. to see a full dining room at lunchtime. We then experienced something unbelievable and very unusual in current times. There was One - Server, One Busser, One Receptionist, One Cashier - All in the person of Manal. Yes, she did it all with the most pleasant personality and genuine smile ever. This lady needs to be awarded for such a performance as she was over and Beyond the norm. Claudia and Noel June 7-2024

Delicious foods

We had our sons Holy Communion lunch here and the food and service was top notch all the way. The manager was communicative throughout the entire planning process. Highly recommended for any religious celebration.

The service takes so long the food so so playground to make it bigger for kids

Vegetarian options: Veggie lovers Food

The price should = the food quality

Very bad service . Not organized

Went on May 12th to celebrate Mother s day, we did reservation 2 hours ahead of time, we arrived got seated by Natasha (5 people in total) waited for almost 30 hour for food to be served on the table, food was good however, we were told by the server that someone else is waiting to be seated!! Total time was in is 1 hour and half ( food took half an hour to be on the table) while we were eating kunafi, she approached us to say pretty much we have to leave and someone else is Waiting to be seated. Well let me say this I don t care if Someone is waiting, as a customer who come in to enjoy a special event, you do NOT tell your customers to leave for someone else to sit while we are STILL eating, so unprofessional and disrespectful.

Long line to be seated on Mother s Day on May 12th. They seated the customer after me first even though they did not have a reservation. They tried to appease me by saying garlic cheese bread was on the house but later on the receipt they charged the garlic cheese bread. My husband and I were extremely disappointed and do not plan on returning.

Good middle eastern food, clean and tidy restaurant and good service. Fairy busy and located on a busy plaza. Still convenient and plenty of parking

Love their food. Service is great. I highly recommend this place.

Very badly talked we went but girls said ohh so busy girls never said sitting

Jatashae was excellent she provided me with exceptional service on such a busy day. I arrived after iftaar time and she had no room initially they refused me and later she let me in and through out offered excellent service. Love it! Food was ok though.

Excellent service . Handled big group of people very professionally. Kids had fun . We had a great day

If I could give this place 0 stars, I absolutely would. The food was disgusting. The chicken saj tabliyeh was dry and rubbery as if it had been cut up hours ago. The food in general was very cold too! I felt sick after eating this. Never going here again! And this is coming from a loyal paramount customer!!!

Very dry and rubbery chicken in the shawarma. Felt like they prepared the food in the morning and served it at night also(I visited around 9pm). Definitely microwaved my shawarma, some portions were cold as if its fresh from the fridge. Felt sick as well after getting home. I will not visit this specific branch ever again and might stop eating from this franchise altogether as it seems the food quality has dropped across all the locations.

Vegetarian options: Falafel Dietary restrictions: Serves halal food. Food : 5/5 |

I visited paramount with my aunt and baby it was my birthday lunch from my aunt , we order lentil soup which was delicious but I just want to add that in downtown when we ordered lentil soup we got big nan with it but they don t serve nan just few pita crisps ,for meal we ordered bbq platter which was good overall but beef skewer was uncooked so we get it changed and got chicken skewer in replacement which was delicious sauces were perfect I just want to suggest them if they can add fries to the platter or will make it good combo for 2 people overall everything was good must go and try you will like it we had baklava as a takeout it was so yummy

Food is always awesome!! Manal is a ray of sunshine always a smile and remembers our favorite dishes, a real pleasure to dine here!

good service good food

BBQ chicken no longer on the menu. My favorite bbq item!!

We had food here on my friends birthday 8 December service was exceptional although we only had one waitress on floor she did exceptional job serving us and 12 other tables, food was amazing and drinks too, maybe the management can have a pay raise or keep more waitresses on floor. 1 less star just because of management not having enough waitresses and letting the young girl handle 15 tables on her while busy schedule

This place has gone from amazing to charmingly mediocre in a span of a decade. Like most successful business ventures, the customer is now only a number to satisfy their monetary metrics.

COVID19 has changed alot. So much so that even our experience at Paramount has gone from good to bad. The last few times We have had dinner at the Markham location it has not been good at all. The quality of food has been bad, while kebab are either raw or burned, yesterday our kebab and rice were served raw and chicken burnt. Even the pita bread had no taste. They have also reduce the quantity of humus and salaad and have increase their prices significantly. I dont mind the price increase, but the least they can do is deliver good quality food. This will honestly be the last time we ever visit paramount again.

This was the second time we experienced that the quality of food has significantly changed to worst. Rice were raw and not cooked. Kebab had no taste rather it was overlooked and burnt. Taste of bread Bread is not what it used to be. Overall the quality was terrible. I will not visit again.

Happily stuffed. My hubby and I shared the Mezza plate and the mixed grill plate. More than enough food for us. Our server Astha was absolutely lovely. Yum Yum Yum! We will be back to try other items on the menu!

Great location with convenient parking. Friendly and courteous staff who make you feel welcome. They are very pleasant and helpful. Food orders are taken quickly and the food is brought to the table fast. Great food. Delicious desserts and fruit juices. Thank you Astha and Kolthum for always making our dine in experience pleasant. Thank you Jatashae for taking care of our food order tonight. Vegetarian options: Loved the loaded and delicious Falafel wrap, crispy Makali wrap, Mezza plate, garlic cheese bread and eggplant fatteh .

The food was very fresh and service excellent.

Love this place for sooooo many reasons. Great food, Lots of choices, great ambience, extremely friendly staff, great service. To name a few Kolthum, Astha and Manal. Have been to this place at different times and days - and I find the friendly service always. The staff bring the food to the table very quickly. Vegetarian options: There is more than enough options for us to choose from, and all of them are always well made. Parking: The restaurant is in a plaza with ample parking.

First off who really goest to this over priced not even good tasting middle eastern food? You can go to a nicer Shorma place for half the price !!! And the service was horrible!!!! Never again! Stay away

Great food and service. The bread is hot and fluffy :) I highly recommend the muhammara dip (made from nuts and red pepper) its great.

Our company loves ordering from this location. Manal took very good care of us. She was honest and helpful when ordering a large lunch meeting for the company. Thank you Manal and team, and as always the food was delicious.

Went to this place with high expectations after reading many positive reviews. The experience itself was mediocre at best - the food taste was the big problem for me. I love middle eastern food but food here was bland and tasteless. Ambience was nice and our server was very courteous and made us feel welcome. Also its quite overpriced.

Way over priced! $12.99 now for a wrap only. If you want fries and a water its $5.99 extra! Fries used to be free with the wrap. I can get 2 shawarmas for around $12.99 at other places...most likely wont be coming back here anymore.

My goto place for a middle eastern dish. Never leave without have there signature Kinafes.

They make the shawarma so dry. Time and time again this location has proved to be really terrible. I love paramount but this location is worse than garbage.

What a rip off this location. Prices are ridiculous. Lentil soup I buy from scarborough location they give in a big container this one at Markham was half 1 person doesng get full. Wraps used to come with fries . Now you have to pay around 5 $ to add fries so stupid falafel would cost 16$ . And not so good . I will stick to family shawerma 3 wraps for 15$ and its the best . I seriously felt so bad spending 60$ for 3 wraps and a soup. . . Wont be back

Service was amazing, friendly , attentive and just overall amazing. There were way too many fruit flies in the restaurant. Its obvious there is an infestation and you should address this asap . The food was quite salty. Your employees are your greatest asset.

The beef shawarma wrap is very tasty!

My go to place for Lamb chops, hummus, and there platters especially the waitress is so friendly and nice . I can t wait to go back

When Im craving a shawarma thatll never let me down, Paramount is the spot for me! Portion sizes are great, quality service & a family oriented restaurant!

I visited paramount Markham several times, I never was disappointed. The food is always fresh and tasty. And the service is spectacular. Manal, Kalthom and Lilian alway took good care of us.

Amazing food and service.

Had dinner here for the first time. The food was average and meat was too dry to eat. The shawarma was also dry and there wasn t much sauce in it.

The shawarmas: (1.5 / 10) tastes dry and oily at the sametime and like its been cut in the morning and saved until a customer shows up. There is no correlation between the 15$ sandwich and shawarma, the meat/chicken must be cut and sandwiched right when the customer orders the food, you cutting the meat/chicken and storing it in a can until someone orders a sandwich will make it rubbery dry and oily and you did a good job selling me oily rubbery sandwich Kafta plate: (0/10) 2 skewers of spiced minced meat with parsley and some French fries, way over priced!!!! Not even close to kafta, and if u order it separately you would save money since 1 skewer kafta is like 7$ so u can order 2 skewers and fries for 15$ if you dont say the word plate !!! Chicken tawouk: (7.5/10) tawouk was an actual tawouk nothing special Lentil soup : (7/10) was okay Basically was a horrible experience! The tastiest thing was the ketchup, store was empty, paramount used to not be like that, usually you guys score the 9/10, I dunno what happened!! Poor menu

Really good food, but forgot sauce for roti

If you have kids and want a restaurant that is super family friendly, this is the place to go! Ive been to this Paramount location a few times with my family. They offer kids meal, which my kids really enjoy. Also has a small indoor playground for kids to climb and play. The food is fresh, tasty and consistent. Service is friendly and thoughtful. The last time we went, to my kids delight, our server even gave them a box of complimentary cookies. Would definitely recommend this place!

We had mixed meat Shawarma, pizzas /Manakeesh. All good quality food and great service.

Im disappointed with the level of quality of food this branch has reached, especially when it s your food and culture. I ordered a Saj tableiyeh chicken and beef. Both dishes came with regular pita bread instead of saj. How do you justify charging $18 for a regular shawarma sandwich sold elsewhere at half the price. Adding fries doesn t justify the cost at all. I tried caking the restaurant and asked to speak to the manager to clarify and I was put on hold for 15 minutes before I hanged up

Food at Paramount was delectable. Our server Manal was amazing ! Highly recommend and will for sure be back.

Solid food! Been to many locations is paramount and it s always great - this location offers amazing service and super yummy dish

Been a regular to this place due to lack of decent middle eastern eateries in the area. Quality of food is slightly above average. Quantity and price a big disappointment!

I used to visit this location years ago and some how havent been back until about a month and a half ago. I have to say, the level of freshness and quality was second to none. The Tabouli Salad was just like Moms! Humus, Bobaganoush, and Laban with the Hot and Fluffy Bread was fantastic. Service and Cleanliness was Suburb! The Manager was very communicative and offered wonderful suggestions. Weve been back two additional times since our first revisit. Five Stars !!

We really like the food and flavours found at this middle eastern style restaurant. This location seems to be quite popular and last night the two servers were doing their best to keep up. They were both very nice and helpful and we made sure to tip accordingly. The food was amazing. Definitely recommend!

Very authentic taste. Good vegetarian options. Very courteous and friendly staff.

$41 for a chicken shawarma wrap and a saj shawarma. Ludicrous and not even worth half the price.

Pretty good food, great wait staff, prompt service, decent atmosphere. The play place is cool for kids. Good stuff.

I ordered a spicy Krispo chicken sandwich for takeout. When I reached home and took the first bite I could taste nothing but salt. This was because the chicken was extremely Salty. I could not eat it due to how salty it was. $13 wasted. Definitely would not recommend

Good atmosphere, and the food was decent. I had the lamb, which the waitress recommended it was good but not the best.

They charge for every little thing - the same order that comes up to $15 at other locations somehow ends up being 23 at this location

The only set back for the mix plate/platter was there was rice instead of the flat bread shown in the picture and less veg.

It was very bad experience. Food was dry and cold.

Le personnel est très gentil et accueillant service rapide, mais la nourriture n est pas à la hauteur wrap shawarma était trop salé et le poulet trop croustillant et sec comme avait l air pas frais cuit depuis des heures ou c est juste les restants ( on est aller à 8pm ) manakich pas aussi bonne sa goûte rien, sinon un plat Labné était correct.

Great food and fast friendly service.

Regardless of location Paramount is always consistent in taste and quality. The only reason I gave this location a 4 star rating is the fact only one waitress was working lunch hour.

The service and food were terrible. The server didn t even wanna fill water for us until we asked them to do so. And we found a curved hair in our French fries, it was so disgusting. The mixed combo was terrible too, it doesn t taste very good. It was absolutely an unpleasant experience.

Our favorite restaurant for Middle Eastern cuisine in Markham. We started with the Hummus with Beef and had the Saj Tabliyeh Chicken Shawarma for our main course. In the past, weve always had the mixed BBQ platter, which is amazing. The starters come with freshly baked Pita Bread.The Saj Tabliyeh comes with garlic sauce and turnip pickles and is served with . The service at this restaurant has always been very friendly and prompt. You should definitely try this restaurant if youre craving some amazing Middle Eastern cuisine. Parking: Its within a strip mall, so there is never a shortage of parking spaces. Kid-friendliness: Play area for kids. Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible.

Very disappointed with the meal I received. Ordered the shrimp meal, very overdone and dry

The food here was amazing and rich taste. Specially cheesy chicken shawarma boat and paramout special juice. About the service, I would say it was one of the best service I have seen in canada. Server Momin served us and it was great as he was kind and very polite and provided one of the best service.

I ve been to this Paramount location many times. But this time something was off. The oven was not working, some of the bbq items we ordered were not available. And of course the customer service lacked empathy. The portion size was reduced. Might think twice before coming back here again.

Least amount of filling I ve had in a shawarma. Really dry not juicy at all. Server not to be found. Had to get up and ask for things. Never again.

Very courteous and helpful staff. Excellent service Manal ,Great food

What happened? Quality went down.. Completely Ordered from ubereats lemon was rotten, sizes shrank, portions shrank super inflated prices

Food here is good. It really depends on the day. Some days its really good and other days not so much. The lack of consistency is why I decided not to give 5 stars. But the restaurant definitely has the potential for it. Hopefully the owners are able to get the food to be more consistently good.

Food fresh,hot,and delicious

Mashallah there Arabic ice cream is a must have

Fresh food, quick service and tastes great!

I ve always tried to be friendly with the staff here, fully knowing I m an outsider here. Still after all these years, it s an unwelcoming environment for myself.

Do not buy from here. They dont even know the meaning of shwarama. I asked for a beef plate and they gave me white rice with beef. Its like telling a white person to make a shwarma. A white person making shwarma woulve been better. I don even think the store is owned by middle easterns.

Food was okay, meat was dried out. Service was so slow. No Covid measures followed. Server was cleaning and serving the food without changing gloves.

Great place for food!

We ordered our Christmas party lunch from Paramount and it was fourteen individual meals, it was really good choice. We were delighted by the tasty food and the service was above average specially from Manal who was taking care of our order so we got our order in time and beautifully organized.Thank you.

Horrible portion sizes. Horrible service.

I came into Paramount to treat myself to a meal however after I was left waiting at the front counter to order for 10 minutes without being helped I left the restaurant. I am highly disappointed with the customer service that I experienced.

Absolutely delicious! Mix platter was good enough for two and the Shish Tawook was soft and perfectly cooked and Beef Kafta was crumbly and perfectly blended. The Chicken Saj was also filling and Pizza for the kids was simple but very tasty. Every single item on the side (fries, hummus, rice, etc) were great. Both food and service was excellent.

Best Service and Most flavorful food out of all Paramount Restaurants. I had lamb and chk mix plate. Keep up the good work guys. 5***** all the way. Feb 5th 2022 review- we ordered take-out on Uber Eats. I had ordered a Mix Grill Meal with Fries and Mezza Plate and my wife ordered Spicy Potatoes and Veggie Tasting Platter. The good part first, Mezza Plate was good, I would still not prefer it in 1 container as everything was nearly mixed. Spicy Potatoes were great and the Tasting Platter was very good as well and they both were warm and so were the Pitas. Now the not so good part. My Mix Grill was not up to the mark. The kofta was cold cold and so was the Shish Tawuk and the Beef all were cold and the fries too. And everything was in a box with a Pita and charred onions and pickles. Not at all happy with what I got. Hope you guys make some changes in how you send the food. Thank you.

Had a great experience at this location tonight. Food was fresh and served very quickly, and our server Manal, was extraordinary! We came here after a long time and would definitely come back.

Great Service and excellent Food. Very clean and followed all Covid precautions.

Nice place with an interesting atmosphere. The servers were nice and helpful. It was the first time that I tried Kafta kabab which comes with 2 skewers but I ordered an additional skewer. The portion is quite enough for one person. Still is one the best places for Middle Eastern taste. I just give 4stars for the quality of the Kabab which can help them make more progress.

Loved the food, highly recommended the rosé sauce and the Kira cocktail is amazing for guava lovers and amazing staff thank you faleef

Extremely disappointed with the food. Ordered a chicken platter with rice and fries. Extremely dry chicken as if it was cut a while back and really tough to eat. Rice/fries/pita were good however it s a lot of carbs with very little sauce to help lubricate the meal. You are given a tiny little container of garlic sauce which barely covers a couple fries. I had high hopes and for 20 dollars spent, I feel like it was a huge waste of money. I will say that the garlic sauce is top notch. Maybe don t order the chicken shawarma. Other reviewers have ordered other things, and they look juicy.

The waitress was vet helpful and the food was amazing. Thank you

Excellent service and food is always fresh. We have been going to Paramount since it has opened and our family loves the food. Faisal is always very courteous and always caters to us nicely. Highly recommend.

I generally like the Paramount chain but this location dropped the ball this time. My wife got a halloumi salad takeout and this is what we got for $13 maybe don t get salad from this location

Very authentic Middle East food.

Love their Pita bread its so fresh. Quick service. The restaurant has huge dine in area and very clean.

Ordered on ubereats they didnt pack the baklava i ordered.. also no salad for a main chicken and beef plate..

Ordered Chicken Shawarma wrap and Falafal Wrap. Both of them very dry and difficult to swallow. Needs little more sauce to lubricate.

Food is good. But the portion is cheese and cheap. I got a salad. And they got my order wrong for the falafel.

This place is so bad! They have six or seven people on shift, and they chit chat so much to the point when your order is ready, they don t bother telling you. Unless you proactively ask. Such a bad place.

Staff are friendly, the restaurant is spacious and is above average, price is fair. Only the window need to be clean, lot of staind. Other than that, we are happy.

Had the pleasure of meeting the GM of the restaurant and inquired about family catering options for pickup. They offer food delivery services and takeout. Waiting for the restaurant to re-open for indoor dining to enjoy a relaxed meal with family and friends. Lets all support these types of businesses who have been severely affected since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic which began back in March 2020! Had their Chicken Shawarma and it was heavenly and the best that I have ever tasted. They also offer large catering orders, weekend breakfast and gift cards!

Delicious food and clean atmosphere! Good service and food was timely. I enjoyed their Baklawa Cheesecake a lot. It was so delicious, I went back again same day for take out just for that dessert dish!! So yummy, give it a try if you can!

Worked with Kolthum at Paramount located in Markham. She was great and so were the rest of the service women working there. They took care of my party and the food was delicious! All my guests commented that they would definitely go to Paramount again.

I ordered out a couple BBQ chicken platter and it was very tasty. Jatashae was the waitress that served me, she was very pleasant and professional in her service and helpful by taking some of the food to my car, I would go back there just because of her customer service.

Went for dinner with a group of 8, enjoyed everything. Their hummus and fresh bread that keeps coming was the highlight. We ordered a BBQ platter for the table and a beef shawarma, it was enough for us. Very friendly staff, will be visiting again for sure.

We had a mixed bbq platter as a family, the food was cold. The (chicken, beef) shawarma was dry and over cooked, the meat of beef barbecue was not from the best cut of fillet mignon and the falafel was cold. The service was good but the food is not.

Standard fare. Consistent food. Decent for a quick meal

So delicious food and perfect service, is the best food ever in Markham

Had lunch today with two of my colleagues. Food was very good and large portions. Very good atmosphere to have lunch. Had great service Manal and Abrar. Will come again.

Food was so dry and had lack of flavour!

Amazing customer service and hospitality by Khutum, Lillian and team. Best place for authentic Arabic food with an outstanding ambience, especially to celebrate occasions. Loved the Kinafeh and the baklawa cheesecake, which is a must try!!

First try But very good

I ordered the Mixed Shawarma Plate on Uber Eats for $23 plus tax, and received something that looked like it was put together by my 3 year old. I suggest you stick to small businesses for shawarma plates/sandwiches. You ll receive better quality, better tasting food, and they provide tahini and hot sauce which you don t get here. All for a fraction of the price.

Amazing service for a Graduation party. Special Thanks to Manal Dakwar.

I dine here more often than not. Their krispo menu is amazing and also their shawarmas are great. I have tried the manakeesh as well, absolutely delicious. Staff is very friendly and respectful.

For the price portions are small food tastes bad and you can tell they are trying to charge you for anything they can. Way better options for middle eastern food in the city. Will never be going back

We had excellent food at lunch today at Paramount and our server Manal was very warm and friendly. We will certainly be back !

The quality is not the same as when they first opened. However still okay. The chicken SAJ wrap was dry like my eye and way over done. Gonna take a break from this spot and give them another chance in the future.

The food is good..but overpriced for the amount of food they serve.

Hosted a wedding dinner and all my guests were super pleased with the staff and food. This location is simply amazing in all ways.

Prices went up quantity went down. Ordered beef shawrma came up pretty dry. Mix grill plate has gone down pretty bad. Paramount if you guys have increased the prices due to inflation then why reduced the quality.

Ate inside one time and almost half the meat was hard to chew and uncooked. i told the manager and he said he cant do anything about it and went to another co worker and laughed at us. never coming back to this location

My wife and I and younger infant came in earlier today for lunch. The Server was amazing from the start to finish. The food was cooked to perfection; I don t why I m reading such terrible reviews. No Resteraunt is perfect, it s impossible to please everyone. These guys are serving us authentic Middle Eastern Ethnic food and we should appreciate that. Customer for life.

Great food and atmosphere Dietary restrictions: Has Halal meat

Always my go to

We have Been a fans of paramount for many years. This Markham location has rapidly declined in quality and service. Takeout and Uber orders are almost never correct. Sad because other locations are still rather good .

Great Mediterranean Cuisine. Free wonderful coffee with any menu option.

Food tasted good, but definitely overpriced. $20 for a chicken salad? $3 for a can of Coke? Give me a break. Unfortunately wont be returning.

I had a poor experience at this Paramount. My friend found hair in her pizza. The chicken in my platter smelled odd and the baklava wasnt fresh at all.

i ordered the chicken shawarma it was so amazing and the manager was so kind i will decently be back the best restaurant i ve been to in awhile

I had a great time with my family at this location. We ordered a mixed combo platter and it was really delicious. The customer service is actually really good. Everyone is so kind and sweet! Will be coming back soon.

This place looked clean and we were seated quickly. The food was ok, nothing special.

Been here three times and the same amazing smiley lady has helped us out all three times. You can never go wrong with Paramount. The taouk, fattoush, shawarma, kafta, everything is just made to perfection! Accompany that with their amazing attitude and as the shirt said: Spread Hummus, not hat! Thank You for another lovely evening! Check out @nazaris_touch on IG for original recipes and more!

Do try their Chicken Rolls. An amazing deal, 2 for $4.99 and its good for an Adult Meal. Dietary restrictions: All items on the Menu have clear indications of Calories Parking: Ample FREE Parking Kid-friendliness: They have a Kids Play Area Wheelchair accessibility: Excellent Wheelchair accessibility

Lillian and Manal were excellent in service. We had dinner from 6-8 . Enjoyed the food as usual and the service was excellent from the 2 servers. Keep it up. Vegetarian options: Good choices

Great food. Saaj Roll is the best in town.Overall experience is great when it comes to customer service. Vegetarian options: Falafel, hummus, tabouleh

A good family restaurant. Good service and reasonably good food.

Food was great but unrealistically expensive. I just ordered some chicken and cheese plus fries ended up paying 50 dollars. Quantity of chicken much reduced from before. Kid-friendliness: Asher s were very friendly

Thank you to the server who gave us a salad upgrade. Food was undercooked. I was served one piece of bread. Server didnt even ask if I need another piece of bread. Markham location needs to upgrade your standard.

Lovely staff, great food. Never disappoints. It was my husbands bday today and they surprised us with a cake and sweet bday song. Thanks a lot for making his day!

I ordered the mixed chicken and beef plate. Chicken was completely dry; the beef was okay. Bread was the highlight for sure. Overall, the food was not up to standard

Kind staff, with quick service and a nice atmosphere. Also in a great plaza with a bunch of other food places. Giving it a 3 due to the overpriced food for a small quantity. Got the lamb chops meal for $33 after taxes and the lamb chops were so small I could eat it in two bites. Would get more at a fast food Middle Eastern place for the same quality at a lower price point. Wouldn t go back, but definitely a place worth trying once.

Very bad services

Daaammmnn..you guys got to give SAIRA ...a raise hahaha...her services are so professional and amazing...she is surely an asset to the team of Paramount Markham. Very Kind, Polite, pretty for sure, but most importantly...she keeps everything professional...very energetic..I hardly see her tired...and she is quick..I see her taking orders, packing food, making bread, such an amazing staff member. These always makes my 1 hour travel to that place worth it. Keep It Up..and again KOODOS TO SAIRA.

This location has the most poor service, Manager does not know how to manage inventory. There are 2 times I placed large order only to find they didnt had enough to fulfill the complete order, Unsure why accept the order you cant fulfill. Today I bought a large fired chicken order for family of 10 people and as this place management is cheap they filled the buckets with chicken legs only to save on cost yet charged fully. I give up on this location. Not only I am no longer going to use this personally but I will make sure no orders are placed from my work from this location as well.

We ordered food for birthday over the phone last Saturday and when brought it home it was not at all what was explained to us when we had placed the order. Quantity was way less than expected and quality was also not very impressive. We found it to be way too expensive and would not order the food from Paramount again.

Great food

Awesome as always. The mixed platter is a great way for a group to try everything. Enjoy!

Ive never had a bad meal at Paramount! Love the lebneh, manakeesh, tabouleh, and lentil soup. Tremendous flavours without the heavy fried feel of other places. Manal was lovely and gave us great afternoon service!

I found the restaurant clean and the staff very polite & courteous. The food quality was excellent and the quantity was appropriate. it is an ideal place to visit & eat with family, friends as well as for business and corporate dining events. highly recommended for authentic Middle Eastern/Lebanese food.

STAY AWAY!!!What an absolute waste of money. The food was so blant. Ordered lamb chops which was over salted, fries were dry. To top all this, the service was absolute thrash. Would not recommend this store or paramount as a whole. I wanted to give a chance but I was proven wrong. Stay away friends!

Wide variety to choose from, their butter chicken pizza is really nice. Have enjoyed every meal I have ordered so far. Good customer service, friendly staff.

My husband and I just came back from a weekday dinner at Paramount Fine Foods Markham. Even though they were very busy and looked understaffed, the staffs took care of us very well. Given the situation (including the new Covid protocols), we were really impressed by the high level of service and cleanliness they maintained, as they took the time to explain everything to us thoroughly, always came around to fill our water and asked us if everything was good etc. Of course, the food was very tasty, portion sizes were good and their in-house stone oven freshly made pita was to die for! We will be back for sure!

Great staff, great food.. really great experience when we visit this place. The shawarmas and mezza plate are favorite items for meal and lentil soup is a must try.

Food was amazing, service was amazing, shoutout to Jatashae for taking care of my family and i... we will definitely be back for more

Excellent customer service. Friendly staff and the food is always

Great friendly service. Delicious food.

As a regular customer, I am very disappointed visiting this location. Very slow service. Took them twenty minutes to bring us ketchup after we requested. Food got cold! At the end when we repeatedly asked for the bill, they took forever. I ended up going to the front so that I could pay and the lady went if you wait in your table, we will bring it to you really? Needs new management for sure!

Amazing experience, the staff were kind and courteous, and the food was delicious! Definitely will be going back for sure!

Had the worst shawarma ever from here today! Spent $24 to get a sour shawarma!

Our familys top restaurant in the GTA to dine-out for several years. No compromise on quality for authentic taste of middle eastern cuisine, quality of service is superb, staff are polite, accommodating. Happiest memory at the Markham location where Manal served me and my family for a spectacular birthday party dinner, making for a unforgettable family reunion.

Wasnt the best experience here with the staff. Even though we were almost an hour before closing they literally reminded us every 15mins that they are closing.

Delicious food, generous portions, very good service

I had an awesome experience with my bulk order from Paramount at Markham. We had ordered food for almost 75 managers for our company team lunch. The restaurant manager Kolthum, their chef Emad and staff member Manal provided outstanding customer service to us. Their food tasted awesome and was super fresh. They made sure they had all 75 meals individually packaged labelled very nicely with all managers names on it with cutlery and sauce in each individual meal bags. Great job Paramount team, we are looking forward to more business with you all! Thanks again, we enjoyed the food!

Ive always heard good things about Paramount but never tried it cause I didnt think it was much diff from other cheaper Mediterranean chains. I happened to have an Ubereats coupon and decided on the chicken main plate. It came up to almost $30 including all the fees etc. Although on the description it didnt mention An included salad, usually other chicken plates include salad. To my disappointment, it actually arrived without a salad. There was only dry chicken, rice, pickles, garlic sauce and a pita bread! This meal was 20 bucks without the fees and tip. Such a rip offffff. So not worth it!

Authentic arabian food.

Amazing Mediterranean food. The portion was also great. The must try is their Arabic Ice-cream. Service was good too.

Food was fantastic, service was slow but friendly.

Ordered Half Mixed Combo Platter... Meat overcooked, was like eating leather. One of the worst meals weve ever experienced. Nearly $100 for two through Uber Eats. Would not eat this rubbish if they offer it for free.

Company lunch, 50+ meals, delivered on time (right when they open, they hired externally to get our meals there on time). Manager was friendly and easy to contact/work with.

Friendly staff, less crowded, place was neat and clean. Food was delicious. Ordered whole BBQ chicken with fries and rice. Chicken was soft and juicy.Quantity was good. Overall good experience

Friendly staff remembered us from the previous visit. Good food served hot and fresh. A great start to the day before shopping in the area.

The best spot out of all the Paramout places in Toronto. I highly recommend the mixed beef platter! The food was just Mashallah
